Yesterday, we continued on a philosophical TeaJourney. When asked what Teaware you would want to be, the top response was teapot. The discussion was very interesting as well. You can still vote and discuss yesterday's topic.

Welcome everyone to TeaDay, our daily TeaPartee. Brew some tea and share with everyone what is in your cup today, all day. Frequent updates are a bonus. Make sure you check out what everyone else is sipping today as well...lots of fun to be had. If you need to reflect back on your TeaDay, you can do that as well!

Today, a philosophical question again? Maybe, maybe not...but guaranteed to make you think! So, share with everyone who you would share tea with today if you could. Have fun or be ultra serious. Anything goes on TeaDay.

I am anxious to hear your responses today as always. Great tea, great sharing...

I would like to know why my adagio orders keep coming with "Bolero" in them. It's sort of a random filler isn't it? Either way, that's what I'm drinking now, just to get rid of it faster (not that it's terrible or anything).

Edit: Forgot to add why I didn't pick the best choice; tea farmer. First of all, I wouldn't want to come off as a tea newbie (which I am), mispronouncing his/her tea, making various cultural mistakes, etc. It would be too nerve wracking.

There's a couple of close friends of mine who I plan to have round for tea soon and I am currently in the process of planning how to do this best. I know that both of them enjoy green tea but have never really had any good stuff. I might wait for my Shincha to arrive.

Started the day with 5 steeps of Uji Gyokuro Kame-Giru-Shi and have just had my 2nd of Fukamushi Sencha Supreme.

This was a toughy....and I know several of you thought I might chose a "special" teachatter

There are so many interesting people in history and in the present and who I've never heard of and it is in my nature to want to hear about and from all those people!! So, it was REALLY hard for me to pick.

As I poured the water into my teapot though, I thought "Who do I want with me right now" and the first several people who came to mind were all friends who I rarely get to see anymore.

Interesting question. I chose "other", since if I could, I'd have loved to have tea with my now deceased grandmother.

She used to drink hot water with lemon, after giving up coffee years ago (I'm assuming it affected her similarly as it did to me). I would have loved to introduce her to tea, show her all I have learned, as I know she would have been interested.

She had traveled to China, so I would definitely have a cup of Chinese green with her...perhaps the one ironically I just drank this morning, Jade supreme. My grandmother and I also had a shared interest in health and nutrition, so that is another reason I would chose her.

We would sit on her porch, drink some tea, nibble on some homemade healthy oatmeal cookies, and chat for hours.
